Another day, another extremely dreadful hour of Mad Science with the only person that I truly happen to hate in the whole entire world; Lash. At least he wasn't still furious at me.

Today we were dissecting goat hearts. Yay. Not.

"Do you get it?" I asked Lash. "Answer wisely. I'm holding a very sharp scalpel."

"No." he said truthfully.

"Did you not understand the threat?" I groaned. "Oh, that's right, you don't understand anything!"

"Hey, Alice!" Will called me from the front of the classroom. "Can you help me with this?"

"Sure." Anything to get away from Mr. Dumbass. I jumped off my seat and rushed to Will's table. His partner was some guy I didn't know. His face was red and he looked like he was concentrating very hard on something.

"What do you do after you cut the heart in half?" Will scratched his head.

"You have to examine the-"

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

I didn't even have to turn around to know what had happened.

The back half of the classroom was splattered with blood and bits of goat's heart. It. Was. Gross.

The girls sitting at the table next to Lash's started to cry.

"LASH!" Mr. Medulla cried out. "I do not even want to know how you made that explosion when WE'RE NOT EVEN WORKING WITH CHEMICALS!" It was a lucky thing Mr. Medulla wasn't Coach Boomer, or we'd all be deaf.

"I didn't do anything!" Lash insisted, wiping the blood off his face.

"DETENTION!" Mr. Medulla shouted.

"Lash, are you fucking insane?!" I screamed. "What the hell did you do?"

"Nothing!" Lash said. And for some reason, I actually believed him.

"Detention now, Lash!" Mr. Medulla repeated.

"Fuck this." Lash muttered as he left the room.

Will and his partner started to laugh.

"He is such a tool." I muttered.

"Actually, Stephen did that." Will said, pointing at his friend.

"What?"

"Stephen can make things explode with his mind." Will explained quietly so Mr. Medulla couldn't hear. "That's why we asked you to come here, so you wouldn't be hit with the… stuff."

"Why did you do that?" I turned to Stephen. "That was my work too!"

"Lash needed to be taught a lesson." Stephen said.

"Besides, now that he's gone, you don't have to work with him." Will added.

"Oh my God, you two are even stupider than Lash!" I scolded. "I didn't need you to 'save' me! Give him a fucking break! Don't you think prison was punishment enough?!" I didn't know why I was defended Lash, but it just felt like the right thing to do.

Everybody is the room was staring at me with scared expressions.

"Miss Powers-" Mr. Medulla said. But before he could utter another word, I rushed out of the room.

"Alice." a voice called. It was my mom.

"I know, I'm out of class, I'm sorry, but everything is going crazy and they're being such assholes!" I said all in one breath.

"Actually, I need you to come to my office." she said.

"Why?"

"Come on, let's go." she put her arm around me and we started to walk.

I stepped into her office when I realized we were not alone.

"Lash?" I said. "It was Will and his friend's fault!"

"Kinda figured." Lash said. He had a bloody towel in his hands.

"Sorry I got mad at you." I apologized.

"It's alright. You didn't know." he gave me a reassuring smile.

"Sit down, Alice." my mom said and I did as I was told. "Now, I'm sure you know that Lash is… struggling in science?"

"But it wasn't his fault this time." I said quickly. "That Stephen guy-"

"I know, I shall have a little talk with Stephen later." my mom nodded. "Disregarding today's little incident, Lash is still a little rough around the edges when it comes to his academics."

"A little?" I snorted.

"What I'm saying is, I want you to help him with his schoolwork. Science, mainly."

"Are you saying that I have to tutor Lash?"

"Just until his grades improve." my mom said.

"Which will be NEVER!" I shouted.

"Alice!" my mom scolded.

"Why can't someone else tutor him?" I asked.

"Because you're his science partner. It's much easier cause you already know what he needs help with."

"Mom, with all due respect, Lash is a complete conceited jackass with an ass for a brain!" I took a deep breath. "There. I said it." I turned to face Lash. "No offence."

"None taken." Lash said with a grin.

"Alice, enough!" my mom raised her voice. "You will tutor Lash whether you like it or not!"

"And what if I don't?" I challenged, crossing my arms.

"Then you are grounded for two weeks. You know what that means?" my mom replied. I gasped loudly. Oh hell no! I knew exactly what she was referring to.

"You wouldn't!" I hissed.

"Oh, I would." my mom nodded.

"I've been wanting to go to that Hellogoodbye concert for ages!" I whined. That's right, Hellogoodbye were coming here. To frickin' Maxville! No way in hell was I going to miss this! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, seeing as no good bands ever had shows in our tiny little town.

"Well you can go. If you tutor Lash." my mom said.

I looked from my mom to Lash, and then back to my mom.

"Fine." I groaned, shooting daggers at Lash. He seemed strangely content.

"Good!" my mom smiled. "Every Wednesday lunchtime."

"Lunchtime?"

"It's only once a week, Alice."

"Fine." I grumbled. Hellogoodbye were worth it.

"That is all. You can both return to your class." my mom dismissed us. "Lash, you better take a shower in the changing room."

"No detention?" Lash asked.

"Give this note to Mr. Medulla." my mom scribbled something on a piece of paper and handed it to Lash.

"Cool." Lash grinned.

Lash and I got up and left the office.

I was completely pissed off, but I decided to stay silent.

"I get the feeling something's bothering you." Lash said.

I stared at him unbelievably. "Fuck. You."

I reentered the science classroom just as angry as I was when I left. The room was clean once again.

"Ah, welcome back Miss Powers. Sit down, please." Mr. Medulla said, eyeing me sternly.

"Alice-" Will gave me a rueful look as I past him. I paid no attention to him and sat grumpily back at my assigned table.

I started scribbling frantically in my notebook until Lash returned, his shiny hair wet and tousled. He had changed into a black polo shirt but he still had his jeans on, even though there were still a few blood stains on them.

He sat down next to me and my heart skipped a beat. Damn, he looked good with his hair damp. Too good!

"Lash, I said detention!" Mr. Medulla shouted.

Lash stretched his arm and tossed a note onto Mr. Medulla's desk. Mr. Medulla grabbed it immediately and read it.

"This is not acceptable!" it seemed like he wanted to criticize Principal Powers more, but was afraid since his daughter was sitting in hearing range.

"Too bad." Lash shrugged, leaning back on his chair. He sent Will and Stephen lethal glowers.

"Yeah, too bad." I said, although I didn't exactly know what I meant, or who I was talking to.

"Since we're gonna have to spend more time together, why don't we have… some sort of truce?"

"Do you even know what that means?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Lash said. "What do you say?"

"Sure." I nodded. "But if you act like an idiot, I get to slap you."
